New University Chaplain Named

Dr. Steve Arnold assumed the role of University chaplain on June 1. Arnold has ambitious goals to transform the ministry into one that is cutting edge and exemplary. He plans to interview various campus constituents to uncover ways the ministry can serve more than just students.

Arnold said campus ministry is dealing with a diverse group of people who have even more diverse spiritual journeys. “I want to create a campus ministry that welcomes students wherever they are in their spiritual journey,” Arnold said, “and facilitate their journey with Lutheran integrity.”

Arnold will draw on his appreciation for young adults. “I love the freshness and creativity they bring to the table,” Arnold said. Help will come from the new Campus Ministry associate Billy Schultz ’08.

Prior to Arnold’s role as chaplain, he served as dean of the College of Vocation and Ministry for six years and directed the Director of Christian Education program. Arnold has been serving the University since 1986.
